Safe & Secure: Secure Your Home Network, and Protect Your Privacy Online gives you a solid understanding of what is necessary to secure your networked machine. Written in layman’s terms, this book describes personal Internet security, with careful consideration given to the reality of the SOHO environment. It covers basic topics such as TCP/IP, cookies, firewalls, virus protection, reviews of current home security software, information regarding public key encryption, and a special section on getting and using Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) personal security software. Information on maint

"The security of information systems has not improved at a rate consistent with the growth and sophistication of the attacks being made against them. To address this problem, we must improve the underlying strategies and techniques used to create our systems. Specifically, we must build security in from the start, rather than append it as an afterthought. That’s the point of Secure Coding in C and C++. In careful detail, this book shows software developers how to build high-quality systems that are less vulnerable to costly and even catastrophic attack. It’s a book that every devel

The correct development of security-critical computer systems is as vital as it is difficult. This book presents the extension UMLsec of the Unified Modeling Language for secure systems development. The book is written in a way which keeps the first part (ch 1-5), describing UMLsec and ist use, accessible to anyone with an interest in computer security and a basic background on object-oriented systems. It can also be used as part of a general course on applying UML or on computer security. The second part (ch 6-9) is about the mathematical tools needed to use the UMLsec approach to verify UML
